What’s New In The Litter-Robot Connect – The Full Review

One of the biggest challenges every pet owner has to deal with on a regular basis has to do with cleaning their cat’s litter and keeping their home smelling fresh.

I’ve done multiple reviews on the new Open Air and old discontinued 2 model and they both blew me out of the water in terms of efficiency and money saved

I love to say it, but you will kiss goodbye to the days when you had to scoop and clean yucky litter boxes.

However I don’t recommend kissing your litter tray as it could be toxic!

Although its expensive, the new Litter-Robot connect offers a straightforward proposal every pet owner wouldn’t want to miss out on.

Starting at $500, this mechanized litter system will magically transform the chore of constant litter scooping into a breezy task that is as easy as taking out a garbage bag, consider it as a maid cleaning after your cat because you have other things going on.

Wow, a maid that doesn’t ask for an hourly rate?

Is it even possible?

A simple machine that takes away odor, harmful bacteria and manages your cats litter box on autopilot?

Who’s going to say NO to that?

Well, I almost did, and it was because I was skeptical, why?

I’ve reviewed so many of these self cleaning litter boxes, and the truth be told, many of these contraptions clearly have good intentions to help us pet owners.

But the truth be told is that they came with their own laundry list of problems to consider.

However, when considering the initial old model of the litter robot it was completely different, and here’s why:

• Extended warranty – If you don’t like it you get your money back
• Invented in America – Everything is just fluid if you have a support question or if you need help setting up they are on it.
• Easy to clean – Every 6 months I spray it down with some soapy water for good measure.
• A SOLID PRODUCT – Yep, this product just works and the online reviews prove it. Sure, some people have had some minor problems but the company’s support is always there to save the day.
• Long-lasting with replaceable parts for longevity – If you are like me and remember the old days when products were meant to last, then you will love this. I still use my old model litter robot, the first-ever model to roll off the production line and its served me well for 6-7ish years I’ve had it.

Not just that, the Litter-Robot also promises to do much more.

Owning this mechanized litter box pledges to make the dirtiest part of pet ownership —litter scoping and litter tracking magically go away.

But don’t just take our words for it, read on to see our honest review of the Litter-Robot system and see if it is worth giving a shot.

What is Litter-Robot Connect – Wifi enabled?

The first generation of the Litter-Robot system was produced in 2000 by Auto Pets.

As a truly revolutionary and innovative litter box, the Litter-Robot sports a globe-shaped design that makes it adorable.

We love the fact that the Litter-Robot is uniquely designed to rotate automatically, making it easy to sift your cat’s litter after use.

Thanks to advancement in technology, the latest edition of the Litter-Robot system which the company calls the Litter-Robot 3 with Connect is designed to perform even better.

We love the fact that the Litter-Robot 3 with Connect is Wi-Fi enabled and allow pet owners to monitor the box through a specially designed smartphone app seamlessly.

Featuring a blue night light, noiseless performance, distinctive design and smart home ready features, the Litter-Robot has earned its place as one of the best litter boxes of the future.

Getting started with Litter-Robot

Unlike other conventional litter boxes on the market where you have to take time to assemble and set up, the Litter-Robot system offers some unique propositions we like.

To start with, this litter box comes fully assembled and ready to use.

This means you wouldn’t spend extra time trying to figure out how to set it up.

And since the litter box comes fully assembled and ready to go, all you have to do is place the ridged rubber mat on the step, proceed to install the draw liner, fill with litter and finally, plug the Litter-Robot in.

It’s that simple.

Without a doubt, the Litter-Robot isn’t a compact, so it is going to be a pretty noticeable instalment in a home.

Measuring around 30 x 25 x 27 inches, you’ll agree that this litter box with an enormous footprint may not fit into your home.

So, before taking the plunge, make sure you do your due diligence and confirm if you have enough space in your home to fit this litter box.

Also, keep in mind that the Litter-Robot functions pretty well when kept away from walls and corners.

How does the Litter-Robot Connect system work?

When it comes to cleaning, the Litter-Robot executes cleaning in two ways.

This means you can opt between an auto-clean or manual clean, depending on what works for you.

To start a cleaning cycle, you only have to hit the “cycle” button on the front of the litter box or simply wait for the box to automatically initiate cleaning cycles every time your fur friend uses the litter box.

To optimize the cleaning process, this litter box comes equipped with special sensors that easily detects your cat’s presence.

But to work optimally, your cat has to weigh at least 5 lbs.

Once the Litter-Robot automatically detects a cat in the globe, it initiates a 3-15 minutes waiting period.

This waiting period is designed to allow the content of the litter box to clump and dry.

Once that waiting period elapses, the cleaning cycle automatically starts.

From our test, we found that the litter box works exactly as designed.

Compared to other self-cleaning litter boxes that sometimes jam and clog, the Litter-Robot is pretty solid as it doesn’t encounter any of these glitches.

The Litter-Robot has impressive functionality and sifting technology.

The process kicks off as soon as the globe starts rotating.

This allows the litter to shift and slide, making its way through a specialized sifter.

This incredible sifting technology helps separates clean litter from the messy litter, effectively allowing the dirty litter to drop into a waste chamber under the globe.

To start with, the Litter-Robot system works perfectly with a hard-clumping litter.

So, anything from clumping crystals to clay to biodegradable cat litter should do.
